A very ominous recording of a KM-Europ 8 port siren

I love the sound of these. Something about that lower tone compared to the 60 hz American sirens just makes these so eerie sounding when sounding in attack.

sounds like the siren in the silent hill movie!

That's because it IS the siren used in the Silent Hill movie. Even though if one of these were spun up in America it would sound very different.

Other recordings of this French "Silent Hill" siren. It creeps me out even listening to these.

Can someone tell me what the name of this siren is? None of the videos show pictures of them either.

I'm curious, because that's one of the best-sounding sirens I've ever heard. It's such a beautiful, haunting sound.

It is made in France by KM-Europ and it looks like this:

Yep, it looks pretty cool too. I'd say the closest sound to this that we can get in America is the STL-10.

Based on the housing around the stator, it looks like it has the slanted vanes between ports like old ACA sirens did.

Here's a vid of the siren itself. It doesnt have the wind up but sounds good. It's not the best quality either.
